Answer 1 :
if you find a wifi hotspot yes. mostly in airports. wifi range is about 100 feet.
Answer 2 :
Wifi operates in the unlicensed band of 2.4 Ghz and 5.x Ghz. This is the same throughout the world and provided you are in range of the hotspot (about 50-100m) you should get connectivity.

Where can I get a computer power cord for Europe?

Where can I get a computer power cord for Europe?
I'm moving to Europe and want to take my computers with me. I have a Dell laptop and a Dell desktop. I looked on a Dell site for a power cord but can't find one. Does anyone know where I can get one? I'm gonna get a converter but for my computers i just want to change the power cord since that'll make it a lot easier. Thanks a lot.

Answer 1 :
Be careful the US uses 110v 60hz, while Europe uses 220v 50hz. Check your computer specs before you "just change a power cord" Most US computers will auto-detect or provide a switch, but some may not. Good luck

Answer 1 :
Find a Euro provider that has prepaid service over there, it'll be much cheaper.
Answer 2 :
Great question. Sprint, Alltel and T-Mobile don't really cater to this crowd right now. However, Verizon and AT&T do. Both have plans that let you roam in Europe with 100 MB per month. That's good for regular web pages and email but definitely not Youtube, downloading songs or music. It can get you the essentials done while still having domestic coverage when you come back. Verizon's is $130 while AT&T's is $140. However, for $230, AT&T will throw another 100 MB on it (200 MB in total). Full details on coverage and cost in the sources. I hope this helps
Answer 3 :
if it were me, i'd get the sprint or verizon 8830 blackberry: http://www.evdoinfo.com/content/view/2051/64/ and when in europe, prolly do a pre-pay sim card.
